>on road
can't pump to 80 and roll forever
>off road
can't dump to 40 and have all the grip and more
also massive moment of inertia and generally heavy
also is a damper and not a spring like an air tire
also bitch to get on

I was extremely close to trying Tannus but they didn't have the size I needed. Since then I have read about broken spokes, so I'm still not 100% convinced airless is the answer just yet.

Everyone became instantly convinced it *wasn't* the answer back when pneumatic tires were invented in 1888.

The real pro move is to put Tannus on your aerospokes. Then you're basically set for life with a wheel that will never go out of true and a tire that will never go flat

They only did it to cope with a rubber shortage during the war, it was considered shit even then and the standard issue were pneumatics as the value of the bicycle lied in its ability to cover tough ground quickly and silently for messengers and ambush troops. Some countries even deployed folding bikes, most notably the French.

Thirding with the Marathons. Sure it's theoretically possible if you run over something really horrible, but in practical terms flats are just not a thing. There are reasons not to like Marathons but they're WAY more practical than any airless system! I don't carry a patch kit and I've never needed one.
